Top: View across Darby Canyon towards the South Fork where Wind Cave and Ice Cave are located. In 1951, 5 people died after being struck by lightning below the entrance to Wind Cave. The victims were 4 young girls from a nearby LDS camp and one of their adult leaders. Some of the victims were thrown as far as 100 feet by the bolt that blasted the spot where they'd gathered to seek refuge from a summer storm. A monument now marks the spot where the victims died, just below the entrance to the cave.

Below: A trailside seep offered good, cold water at about the halfway point up the canyon wall.
